[Interview with the Vampire] Vampire Lewell

Although he didn't quite understand why he was suddenly received by the president, Lewell stayed in the hotel he had booked long ago with the idea that it would be good to go to the White House.Armand, who was not invited, did not go with him, but the beautiful boy who has good taste in clothing personally chose a black suit and a dark blue striped tie for Lewell.

After officially entering the White House, Lewell realized that this was not a one-on-one "candlelight dinner", but a dinner party with more than ten people in attendance.No one came to search him, and all the reception work made people feel at home.But Lewell has no doubt that the newly established CIA has already checked the guests for contraband.In fact, before coming to Washington, he thought carefully about his "life experience" and accepted the invitation only after he felt that it was impeccable.After all, if it was discovered that the person the president wanted to meet was a vampire, it would probably cause an uproar, wouldn't it?

Almost all the people attending the dinner party were over 40 years old, and Lewell instantly became the youngest one among them.If someone who often reads newspapers stood here, he would probably quickly recognize that these people were basically well-known industrial tycoons.Most of them have known each other for a long time, and a few Lewell felt a little familiar.However, vampires who are not good at socializing in shopping malls have never remembered the names of these people, and only nodded politely when they saw them.In fact, Truman wasn't president the last time he ran into him.The reason why I remembered that short meeting was entirely because Lewell remembered that this person's name was the same as a famous president in American history.It wasn't until a few years later that he embarrassingly discovered that it was a person at all!

The dinner will officially kick off after the arrival of the president.Truman was slightly older than the last time Lewell saw him, but he had just officially become president with bright eyes and high spirits.Due to the limited time, everyone can only skillfully increase the number of conversations they have with the president while taking care of other people's feelings.Lewell was not interested in such a conversation, and all his attention was focused on studying the interior decoration of the small banquet hall of the White House.Still, he was given his turn several times, although the questions he asked each time surprised everyone at the table.

"Mr. President, is the Roswell UFO crash real? Did we really find alien bodies?"

"I'm afraid it was just a military missile test. We do have some information about aliens, though not from Roswell."

After hearing such a dialogue, the business tycoons who were present all secretly regretted their wrists. This is simply a waste of a good opportunity to inquire about the national policy!However, considering that Lewell's business is a 100-year stable profit business, the possibility of being suppressed by the policy is extremely small. On the contrary, the government is eager to cooperate with it, and they can only feel that people are more popular than others.

Finally, the dinner will be declared over in a harmonious atmosphere.Lewell left in a limousine specially responsible for picking up guests.In the car, he carefully summed up the significance of this dinner.Although this was just a one-night trip to the White House for him, in order to ensure that his property would not shrink sharply, he still listened carefully to the signal given by the President at the end of the dinner.

As a Democrat, Truman showed extreme panic about the red regime.At this time, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union had officially begun. Truman, as one of the leaders of the two poles of the world, was determined to completely nip the red frenzy around the world in the bud.The method he intends to adopt is very simple, which is to greatly improve the world economic environment, reduce the unemployment rate, and stabilize social order.

After World War II, except for the United States, almost all countries in Europe were razed to the ground. The colonies of European countries around the world were also affected to varying degrees, and the situation in Asia was still in turmoil.Americans originally thought that the major powers in Europe would soon re-emerge relying on the wealth of the colonies.Now that two years have passed, European countries have shown no improvement. Unemployment and famine are everywhere. The old powers in Europe can't even control the colonization and independence.If this situation is allowed to continue, these places will undoubtedly become the best cradles of the red regime.

In line with the Cold War ideology, Truman is determined to implement a package of support for Europe - the Michel plan.In this plan, the U.S. government will provide a large number of materials and loans to European countries to help them revive their economies quickly.Once the world economic environment develops in a positive direction, the unemployment rate will definitely drop. Under the circumstances that everyone has a job and their lives are stable, the revolutionary trend of thought will be greatly suppressed.This will undoubtedly reduce the potential allies of the Soviet Union, the enemy of the United States, and at the same time indirectly stimulate the growth of the US economy, and further strengthen the control of the United States over European countries.

And this dinner is a warm-up activity for Michelle's plan.The Mitchell Project itself, since the funder was the US government, was a big business opportunity for everyone at the dinner.In the future, they will receive a large number of orders from the government, and the materials will be shipped to Europe in batches. The cooperation between the two parties in the field of technology will also be carried out in full swing with the support of the government.

Given that Lewell has already had a cooperative relationship with the British side, he will also get the title of consultant to the implementation team of the Mitchell plan, and will visit the UK at an appropriate time.Regarding when to go to the UK, Lewell has a high degree of freedom, and he does not need to do anything for the executive team. The so-called consultant is actually just to facilitate his actions in the UK and convey the attitude of the US government by the way.

To sum it up, Lewell felt that he had become half an "imperial businessman" unknowingly.But it's not bad to be able to travel to the UK on a "public sponsorship"?I wonder if there is a chance to see those Corgis raised by the Queen? (Stupid vampires haven't figured out yet that Elizabeth II isn't on the throne at all.)

"So this is a good opportunity for mortals to make money?" Armand read the newspaper while sitting on the sofa in a vintage lace shirt.The line of his calf is particularly sharp in high boots and tight pants.

"Yes. Not only can you get a large number of orders in the next few years, but you can also take a trip to the UK by the way." Lewell added.In addition to the largest sector of petroleum, the industries under his name include dozens of light and heavy industries.Out of personal hobbies, the vampire even has a small arsenal of his own, which is dedicated to the manufacture of some individual weapons developed under his personal guidance, but he rarely shows up in the government's bidding.

"You decide." Since being with Levi, Armand has never had an opinion on where to go.

"I have to sort out my property before I go." Lewell thought for a while and said, "I suddenly remembered something today."

"Don't tell me that you suddenly remembered how much money you have." Armand put down the newspaper and looked at Leviel with a smile.Although he has no interest in Michelle's plan, he is full of curiosity about every idea of ​​Lewell.

"Don't you know everything?" Lewell asked back.Although he had to admit that Armand looked a little more careful than him, the wealth accumulated over 400 years is not so easy to calculate, right?

"All my property..." Armand walked over slowly and put his arms around Lewell's waist. The collarbone under the buttons of his unbuttoned shirt made Lewell feel a little distracted, "It's all in the hands of a limited few Agents. And I am [-]% sure that none of them have the guts to deceive or betray me." When he said this, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Lewell suddenly and accidentally thought of the legendary Demon Cult leader.He had no doubt that Armand must have used some kind of terror to control his agents.This is almost the same as letting his subordinates eat the "Three Corpse Brain Pill"...

"Well, I think so too. After all, you can read their minds." Lewell lowered his head to chase the beautiful boy's lips.The smell of it always made him linger.

When their lips finally parted, Armand suddenly turned back to his sofa chair, crossed his legs and asked with a smile: "Now, you can tell me what suddenly occurred to me."

Lewell licked his lips: "I thought... It seems that I haven't raised wages for my workers for a long time."

Armand: "..."

If there was anything enlightening about the President's words tonight, it was his sudden memory of how the Western world struggled against the almost irrefutable theoretical system put forward by Marx.

During the Cold War, capitalist countries did a lot of work to improve the lives of the proletariat and working class at the bottom of society in order to preserve themselves and avoid going on the road of inevitable extinction as Marx said.Social welfare was improved step by step, and the introduction of various measures such as medical insurance, unemployment benefits, and paid holidays greatly stabilized the social environment at that time.At the same time, in order to make up for the money lost from this piece, the Western government turned the focus of tax collection to the middle class who will never go to the "red", and vigorously restricted their wealth, making the gap between the rich and the poor appear to be invisible on the surface. shortened.It can be said that it is precisely because of the "red threat" that Western society has embarked on the road of high welfare.

After Lewell thought about this problem, he suddenly realized that the workers working for him seemed to be still "living in dire straits" waiting to be "liberated".In order to maintain his property, he decided to improve the living conditions of his employees one step ahead. Anyway, for him, the amount of money he earns is just a number.He can enjoy the most favorable living conditions anytime and anywhere.

After this matter was decided, Lewell took Armand to inspect his properties across the United States.The executives showed a lot of nervousness about the surprise visit of the always low-key big boss.But two months later, they were overjoyed to receive a new company-wide policy.These include salary increases, holiday extensions, employee medical subsidies, the way seniority is included in wage calculations, and factory hospitals, factory schools, and factory kindergartens for some large factories.

The only ones gnashing their teeth on the matter were economic advisers whose plans were suddenly disrupted by Lewell, who had to lower their profit forecasts for the year.But since Lewell is the sole owner of these businesses, and he's willing to pay for them, no one has the right to object.

A few years later, this series of new policies made Laiweier's company far ahead of other companies in terms of corporate image, which of course was unexpected by the vampires.After all, his only thought when he walked out of the decision was to raise wages for the workers.

After dealing with this series of things, Lewell got an estimate of his total assets by the way, and sat down with Armand on a cruise ship bound for London with satisfaction.
